After the second encounter, Groce told investigators that he realized his wallet was missing.Deputies located the woman, but she was “grossly intoxicated and unable to answer any questions,” according to the report.Because there was no positive identification, a judge did not approve warrants in the case, the report said. Groce was advised to cancel his bank and credit cards and monitor his accounts for fraud.
